A biomedical engineering course asked students to verify ChatGPT's claims against research literature and revise an AI-generated device proposal with tracked changes. Thirty-one of 68 students answered the evaluation survey, reporting better awareness of limitations and less automatic trust. Project reflections showed selective use, especially for brainstorming. This teaching report offers a concrete assessment design, but it did not demonstrate a causal improvement in critical-thinking ability or student learning outcomes.
